Tymish.7103 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I transfered to my home server Gunnars Hold last week and i read You are not yet considered a citizen on this world thus cannot earn pips until you are a citizen.Players are considered citizens once they have been on a world for an entire match.It has been a week and here i am reset happens and i enter wvw and it again says the same thing :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayra.7405 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Last week before or after Reset? If after, then you were not a full match on the new server so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tymish.7103 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 I transfered before new reset i think it said 5 days remaining in current match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayra.7405 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 An "entire match" is friday 19:00 till friday 19:00, if you transfered after friday, 16. Feb, 19:00 then you have to wait another week for pips.If you transfered before friday 16. Feb, 19:00 then you should write a support ticket.

Keefe.3821 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 This is bs. I'm enough of a citizen to pay anet the expensive transfer fee and enough of a citizen for anet to take my money. But I'm not enough a of a citizen to get pips I earned? What the hell do pips have to do with transferring anyway. Just more illogical anet bs.

ANet agrees that people should be able to transfer. The problem is that some people transfer at the first sign of trouble and it undermined their attempts at balancing matchups. Originally, the game allowed unlimited transfers, then limited to daily, then weekly... none of that turned out to be sufficient to reduce bandwagoning to an unnoticeable amount. Turning off pips for a single week is the most recent mechanic to slow things down and it apparently has. (And many people think the blackout period should last longer still.)In brief:ANet agrees that transferring is important.They also believe (as do many players) that it should be a rarely used tool, hence the restrictions.

Strider Pj.2193 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 It’s a ‘full’ matchup.So... if you transferred AFTER reset, you have about 12 more days to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning WvW for the week used to give rewards but lots of players including whole guilds would just transfer to the favourable server of the week and completely roll the other 2 servers for those few blues and a chest thump.

rng.1024 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Easiest way to phrase it is you need to experience 2 resets on your new server before gaining pips again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've reached a point now when many players have plenty of excess tickets, so the deterrent is no longer effective. I think it's time for ArenaNet to increase the transfer penalty again. Perhaps two weeks (or more) of no pips, no loot, no karma, and no WXP will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean bandwagoning is basically translated to transferring for win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassdeff.1895 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I wish I would have know this, I would have waited a week -30mins before transferring (I transferred about 30mins past reset). Now I have to go another entire week without pips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
